This has been a hot topic for conservatives. I fully support Ukraine, but at some point, they have to say they can’t push Russia out. Ukraine does not have the manpower or firepower to dislodge Russia. They’ve tried and failed. Western support is starting to go down because they have not made progress.

I don’t know the solution, but right now, it’s just a war of attrition, and Ukraine loses in that scenario. I suspect this will be a big topic of discussion during the presidential debates.

    China would have to be insane to invade Taiwan, us involvement or not.

    when the USA is too weak to counter Russia?

    Lmao good to know you’re entirely divorced from reality

      Remind me again, which USA political party sent a bunch of their senators to Moscow on Independance Day? Was it the one you vote for?

        We don’t vote for parties. We vote for people. What senator from Oregon went to Moscow?

      Right now I can’t see China invading. They would destroy everything they want to keep. China could win the war, but that would be a pyrrhic victory.

        Exactly. China stands to gain basically nothing from an invasion. Taiwan has naturally defensible terrain, and the only thing they have of value is the semiconductor industry, which would be destroyed in the war. And both the optics and casualties would absolutely suck for China and ruin their reputation hard.

          That and China have never shown great competence in using their military. I suspect they are a paper tiger.
